Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on
convert-me.com FaceBook pageThank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

I've heard this unit used before, although I don't remember what in reference to. Mass, maybe. Anyhow, can anyone tell me where this unit comes from, and what it is either in English std. or Metric units?

Dineiro is a word for money in some Wester European languages; derivatives like "dinar" are used in the Middle East.
But I can't find any usage of the exact spelling as a unit.

The Denarius was a Roman coin. Back then (before the 1930s), the value of money was defined as a particular weight of precious metal (either silver or gold). Therefore, a coin would always be a unit of mass as well.
In the case of Denarius, you can see it here on this site, at
